Man Leads Chase, Leaves Pregnant Girlfriend Behind

A motorist led police on a chase that ended when his vehicle hit a tree and he fled, leaving his pregnant girlfriend behind, authorities said. A police officer who suspected the man of speeding tried to pull him over early Monday.

Lt. Robin Hollwedel said the man then lead officers on a short chase in which his vehicle clipped a house and rammed a tree. "He hit the corner of it. The tree stopped him more than the house did," Hollwedel said.

The man then got out and fled on foot, leaving his girlfriend - who is 8 months pregnant - in the car, according to Hollwedel. The woman, whose name wasn't released, was unhurt but was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

I cant believe any man would do that to a pregnant woman.

If that was my boyfriend, jail time would be the least of his worries, that is if he survived my wrath!!
